Deposits are not mandatory, however people who pay in full get first priority to jump, and people who just pay the deposit only, will get second priority for, IF (and when), they can jump.

Due to the nature and cost of this type of business everyone MUST REGISTER AND PAY A NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT so we can justify flying the aircraft to you! Anyone who is skeptical about paying a deposit to someone online, we can provide you with references and you can also check with the Canadian Sport Parachute Association to verify our legitimacy.

Skydiving tends to have a lot of “chicken-outs” (who don’t show up at the last minute), and these last-minute cancellations are very financially damaging to our type of business, so the non-refundable deposit is there to offset the financial anguish caused by the individuals who do not just SHUT UP AND JUMP!

Please sign up and pay your deposit to jump@skydivecanada.ca, as soon as possible, and then we will put you on the list to become one of our skydiving brothers and sisters!

Actual jumping will occur at the following locations:

Lastly, Don’t forget to complete your Smartwaiver!

Tandem skydiving you watch a 10 minute video and then go skydive from 10,000 ft strapped to an instructor…

The first jump course you sit through about 6 hours of ground school training then do a couple hours of practical training when you arrive at the drop zone and then you go up to 3,000 feet time out on in the wing of the airplane hang and then let go and as soon as you let go of the airplane the instructor opens your own parachute for you and you get talk down on radio and the radio guy on the ground will guide you in to tell you when the flare so you have a nice soft landing.
